\fBOdfuserfield\fR
is a program that will list or change the user variable declarations in an OpenDocument file\&. There are two kinds of variables in OpenDocument\&. Simple variables can take different values at different positions, throughout a document\&. User variables have the same value throughout a document\&. Due to the latter\'s global nature it is safe to change them with an external application\&.
.PP
Use
\fBodfuserfield\fR
to fill out form letters before printing or giving to the user\&.
